Mike Tramp as a living legend tells his opinion and memories during five minutes at Rockm\u00e4ssan Malm\u00f6\u2026<\/p>\n
*Which was that moment when you decide to become a musician?<\/p>\n
\u2018It was a kind of big surprise, because I have never planned that. Eventhough I\u2019ve played a little bit of sort of guitar in my class, and things like that, you know. A guy had discovered me and decided he would move me in a band that was much older than me. But all before I knew it to join the band, I left everything, I left my mom, I left school, I was move out from the house, and I wasn\u2019t even 16years old. And it just all happened. After you just look back, when you grow up, that you was only a teenager, and you say, oh my God..\u2019<\/p>\n
*Do you think that rocklyrics as \u2018When the children cry\u2019, could really help, or change the world somehow?<\/p>\n
\u2018If you just pick up a piece of trash on the street, you\u2019ve already helped a bit in some way, of course you do. Naturally we all know, it\u2019s not really a big deal. But you can do it. It\u2019s the gesture. With music, if you reach a million people, they will buy the records, and ten million listen to your album, your lyrics lives on to the next generation. Then, somehow you are a part of the possible, just one part of it, but you are a part, and if we would remove it, it would be missing. I haven\u2019t seen my lyrics change the world, but I know, that people are follow me, and like the lyrics, what I write, maybe I also influence these people in what they do, and later they will influence others. It\u2019s again one little thing, which could come bigger and bigger, and maybe takes two generations to had the impact. But it will have. So I think everybody helps alone a little bit.\u2019<\/p>\n
*What was the best moment of your career till now?<\/p>\n
\u2018I really think, it\u2019s the first time you hear your music back. Building up the White Lion was the greatest moment. The show, the videos, and all these things, like fame, are coming after. But writing the first White Lion song, and listen then back: I said OK, this is what I was looking for.\u2019<\/p>\n
*What do you think how will be the rock music fifteen years later?<\/p>\n
\u2018The sound will carry on, I\u2019m sure. We will talking about, and playing it. The industry we have will have a bigger and bigger impact, I mean I wrote a song in the 70\u2019s, 80\u2019s, I got to go through the industry, and it was working, without Facebook, and Youtube, but I don\u2019t think 80\u2019s would happen, if there would be internet. Anyway, future is the thing what I don\u2019t really like to think about too much. I like my life, and I don\u2019t want things to change anymore.. but I can\u2019t stop that..\u2019<\/p>\n
*What are you doing nowadays?<\/p>\n
\u2018You know, I\u2019m just doing it, on a little bit different level. It\u2019s almost the same, a solo-career after the bands. I\u2019m here just because I\u2019m here, and this is who I am. I don\u2019t really need to think so much better. I am just try to find the balance, with what I feel my life and the world around make sense. I don\u2019t want to spend in any energy thinking about what is impossible. I just do what I can do. Just put a guitar, I just play the songs, what I\u2019ve written thirty years ago..\u2019<\/p>\n
